Special vs. General Revelation

[ImputedObedience]

Also, by faith we know the worlds were created (Hebrews 11). You can't know the worlds were created without the Bible.

Driscoll says general revelation is "general in though it does reveal a great deal about God it does not give us the specific name of God like Jesus Christ. Or it doesn't tell us specifically what God has done." Driscoll says you can know God without knowing who he is or what he has done. This is false. The Bible says you cannot know the Father without knowing the Son. (John 1:18). The Son REVEALS the Father, not creation or our consciences.

So revelation is like relativity?

in every case where people think God has had a hand in some event, confirmation bias is always present

I guess an answer to my question is that by killing, stealing, and lying corrupts a person until they are bent on destroying or it destroys them. In that way there is a God. I don't know it sounded good in my head. I probably forgot something.

I guess an argument against that is that someone saw that you can't let people kill and steal and stuff cuz you can't function as an effective society w/o law and order. Though I do believe in what he is saying sometimes I wonder if someone didn't just make it all up.

What do you mean when you say that occasionally God speaks to you audibly? I'm sure you realize that this sounds crazy to a lot of people. Could you explain by elaborating on what you heard and how you heard it in order to hopefully reasonably reduce the number of those who think this sounds like schizophrenia?
